The study of the interaction of bubbles with shock waves and ultrasound is sometimes termed 'acoustic cavitation'. It is of importance in many biomedical applications where sound waves are applied. The use of shock waves and ultrasound in medical treatments is appealing because of their non-invasiveness. In this review, we present a variety of acoustics-bubble interactions, with a focus on shoc...

Several fluid flow problems related to propulsion and power generation exhibit strong acoustic resonances. Produced due to interactions of the acoustics with other underlying unsteady mechanisms such as unsteady heat release or shear flow instability, these resonances manifest as large and sustained pressure oscillations. Active control of such resonances has been shown to be highly effective, ...

acoustic analysis of sounds produced during speech provides significant information about the physiology of larynx and vocal tract. the analysis of voice power spectrum is a fundamental sensitive method of acoustic assessment that provides valuable information about the voice source and characteristics of vocal tract resonance cavities. the changes in long-term average spectrum (ltas) spectral ...

We perform a computational study on the effects of localized arc filament plasma actuator based control flow field and acoustics supersonic 2:1 aspect ratio rectangular jet. Post validation baseline jet, in context noise reduction are studied at experimentally guided forcing parameters, including frequencies $St=0.3, 1.0$ $St=2.0$ with duty cycles $20\,\%$ $50\,\%$ . In general, high-frequency ...

The present study proposes novel micro-jet impingement heat sink with effusion holes for flow extraction. The design consists of impingement nozzles surrounded by multiple effusion holes to take away the spent fluid. A three-dimensional numerical model is used for steady, incompressible, laminar flow and conjugate heat transfer for the performance analysis of the proposed design. The computatio...

Advanced simulation tools, particularly large-eddy simulation techniques, are becoming capable of making quality predictions of jet noise for realistic nozzle geometries and at engineering relevant flow conditions. Increasing computer resources will be a key factor in improving these predictions still further. Quality prediction, however, is only a necessary condition for the use of such simula...
